Delivery Drama

Ganon, if you look back on previous posts, I posted that it is not a duty item as a handheld consol but is liable for VAT.

Well don Vimes, now you feel the power of PSP =>

kpow so will i have to pay anything when they give me the psp to my house coz the guy said he will mark it as gift

mine was marked as a game sample.

Came in a Nintendo SP case (PSP box inside instead if several SP's) nearly cried until i opened it and found the PSP box and game

I note that no one suggested in this thread that the delivery would arrive and a nintendo console would be inside

Was it worth the wait then???

Ha ha that's a good one. Must remember that, Nintendo is obviuosly worthless. Even that VAT Man knows that now.

Ganon, even if marked as a gift it will get VAT, I got a 512 card off ebay last week and was marked camera accessory with $20 value, no vat or duty cos it is under the limit. call the HMCE helpline and go through to the toys section.

If you tell him that he will with your package with him. Even as a gift it is subject to VAT, be thankful there is no duty as well.

The gift status thing is an urban myth, it doesn't matter what it is, over a certain amount VAT is applicable. Who is due to deliver, courier or ParcelFarce?
